Altenew | June 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the June 2025 release with a fun and inspirational blog hop. There are lots of new stamps and dies in the release, but also lots more including new Stellar Sequins, which are so very pretty! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

BELLFLOWER BLISS + STELLAR SEQUINS

I started off my card by die cutting the leaves and stem piece from the Altenew Bellflower Bliss Layering Die Set from light grey cardstock. I then cut the flower petals from Altenew Crafty Necessities: Dew Drops and Teal Cave Cardstock. The flower centres were cut from Altenew Crafty Necessities: Buttercream Cardstock. 

I added ink blending to the pieces with Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks for the petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres and a light grey ink for the leaves. I assembled and adhered the flowers onto the stem and then adhered it to a US A2 sized white card base with liquid glue for the stem and leaves and foam tape for the flowers.  

I stamped a sentiment from the Altenew Cornered Blooms Stamp Set onto Altenew Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with foam tape. To finish, I embellished with the new Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins. 

PRAIRIE ROSES + STELLAR SEQUINS

For my next card, I used the new Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Prairie Roses Layering Die Set. I die cut the flowers from white cardstock and the leaves from a light grey cardstock. I added ink blending to the petals with Altenew Blue Mountains Fresh Dye Inks and an Altenew Mini Ink Blending Brush. I kept the flowers centres white.

I adhered the flowers together using the fabulous keyhole system (which makes life so much easier!) and then adhered them onto a US A2 sized white card base using foam tape. I adhered the leaves next, with liquid glue, popping them under the flower petals. 

I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Altenew Build-A-Garden: Flowering Quince set onto Altenew Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock. Cut it into a strip and adhered it to the card with foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Dazzling Diamond Stellar Sequins. 

CUTE OPEN ROSE

My last card for today uses the new Altenew Cute Open Rose Layering Die Set, which was released as a promotion set last month but now available to purchase on it's own. I die cut the flowers and leaves from white cardstock and added ink blending to them using Altenew Mini Blending Brushes. I used Altenew Bubblegum Dreams Fresh Dye Inks for the petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres, and Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves. 

I assembled and adhere the flowers using the keyhole system and liquid glue. I then took a panel of white cardstock and added ink blending in the top right hand corner, using the same Bubblegum Dreams Inks I used for the flowers. I mixed a little Altenew Titanium White Artists' Gouache with water and then splattered it onto the panel. 

Once dry, it was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with foam tape. I then adhered the leaves and flowers on top with liquid glue. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Altenew Build-A-Garden: Flowering Quince set onto Altenew Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock. Cut it into a strip and adhered it to the card with foam tape.

MINI BLENDING BRUSH STORAGE

Although I did share a peek of it last month, the Altenew Crafters Showcase Mini Blending Brush Storage is now officially released. 

The acrylic sided (and lidded) storage container has a bamboo base and holds 40 Mini Blending Brushes. You can store them with the brush facing up (like I have) or down with a label on the end of the brush so you know which colour it is for. Here is a quick video on the container (including how to remove the coating from the acrylic):
